A must when in Tampa. A nap's required afterwards. Heavy. Eat fast...juicy too. Right across Dale Mabry from the hospital. Limited seated but hey, eat standing up. read more

Marlene's Original Breakfast Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tampa, Florida

A really great side of the road breakfast spot, a friend introduced me to. The only thing I didn't like was that they don't take cash. And I was surprised that they don't take cash! The breakfast sandwich was tasty, though... read more

Marlene's has been on my list of breakfast spots that I've been wanting to visit for so long. I finally had the opportunity and I got the number 4 "fully loaded". The sandwich was so filling and I loved the maple syrup drizzle. I also got the tots which were great if you're a potato person. I'll definitely be back to try another sandwich. read more

Marlene's Original Breakfast Sandwich - Fully loaded #4 - Fully Loaded - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Came back to the Tampa area and had to stop at MOBS again. Got there Saturday morning a little after 8am opening. Seating area was a little more banged up than I recall otherwise everything seemed the same. One other customer had ordered and was waiting, two guys working; the one taking orders was very pleasant. I ordered the number 3, 4 and 8 for our family. Plus some potato wedges. Great tasting sandwiches and spuds. Took about ten minutes from order to readiness. Still a five star experience. Definitely check out Marlene's if you're in the Tampa area and hungry for some high quality breakfast sandwiches. read more

We saw Marlene's and decided to try out for breakfast. The outside is very unique for a food truck and they do have a few tables and chairs where you can eat. When we got there they had people in line and waiting on their orders. The guy who took our order was very friendly. I ordered a #2 The Uncle which is a fried egg, turkey sausage, Munster cheese, spicy artichoke dip, crispy jalapeños on a Cuban breakfast roll. The sandwich was huge and delicious. My husband ordered the #8 Steak and Egg breakfast sandwich. He said it was very good. The steak was tender and he liked the chimichurri sauce that was on it. read more

I am not sure how I never noticed this place, but as I always say "thank God for Yelp!" I took a break from the hospital to break my fast with a sandwich from Marlene's. She has carved out a nice space for her truck and decorated with with some character. She was really nice and had the type of personality you want to encounter in the morning to get you going. After a quick glance over the menu I decided on the fully loaded. I must've been a little tired because I didn't notice the onions when I read the description but boy were they a nice surprise! This sandwich was such a nice departure from the Dunkin and Starbucks alternatives. The price feels a little on the high side but it was so good, I'd pay it again. read more

First time patron now will be a regular! This is the queen of breakfast sandwiches and all others need fall back.

Breakfast sandwich gold! I had a friend from work make this recommendation. Didn't disappoint! I got the number 5.

Mind blowing. My first thought was, how did i not try this before! Had a hard time picking two of the sandwiches but they both came out amazing and I hope to try all the others soon. They were friendly and fairly quick. We scuffed down the sandwiches withing 5min cuz it was dripping a little but SO GOOD! read more

I was looking for something simple that an average fast food restaurant could not offer . I found this spot on google and after reading the reviews I thought it might be a great choice. Upon arrival I initially ask for egg and cheese on a croissant . The man behind the counter offered meat . I told him I didn't eat pork and don't care for beef . He said they had turkey patties. So I agreed to add that to my sandwich. The sandwich itself was hot and fresh , it was spicier than I expected but I still ate it . With all being said I've been sick since I ate the sandwich itself. It's 3am, I consumed the sandwich yesterday around 9am and I still feel sick with a terrible headache that hasn't been alleviated by the regular otc meds. And I can only assume this guy feed me pork or rancid meat . For no reason should I still be feeling like crap when that's the only thing I've eaten in the last 24hrs . My only proof of purchase is the bank charge because I didn't think to take a photo of the actual sandwich. But only pork makes me feel like this which is why I assume that's what he gave me just to up charge my sandwich. Regardless I won't be eating there ever again . read more

We got a #2 and a #5, both incredible and we will be coming back to try more on our next trip to Florida!

We stopped by Marlene's on the way out of town for our road trip. They offer some great breakfast sandwiches, so we had to check them out. This spot is essentially a permanent food truck. They offer a variety of breakfast sandwiches and coffee. They do have a seating area, but most of the food we saw them serve was to go. We walked up to the window and looked over their offerings. I decided to go with a fully loaded sandwich on a croissant rather than the standard Cuban bread. My buddy went with the Special. We grabbed a seat while we waited for our order. The food came up quickly and looked good. The fully loaded sandwich was tasty. It had egg, sausage, bacon, onion, cheese and a maple drizzle. My buddies Special looked amazing. It came with egg, sausage, Gouda, chives, cilantro, and spicy mayo. He was quite happy with his selection. Overall, it was a great stop for a breakfast sandwich. The food was good and service was fast. Wish we had one in St Pete. read more

We ordered by DoorDash today and were a little nervous to try something new. Everything came quickly and tasted great! My daughter tried the basic sandwich, which worked great for her. Plenty of bacon on the sandwich. I tried the fully loaded one, which was good. I didn't taste the maple drizzle at all though. My husband was extremely happy with the steak and egg bagel. The steak was well seasoned, and the chimichurri was light and didn't overpower the sandwich. We will likely order again! read more

Cute little stop for breakfast. Good selection of choices and a little area to eat outside if preferred. Drinks: Ice coffee- good coffee flavor bit overwhelming with sweetness. Food: Various sandwiches- we tried a couple of recommendations which were good, but one was more of a lunch/brunch meal. Tried the loaded- no onions. Came with syrup to dip. Also tried the steak, but subbed out the bagel for a croissant. This was more like a lunch meal- but good for this. Steak a bit salty, but still enjoyable. Also tried some loaded tots- good. Would try a simpler one next time- to better taste the egg. Breads were yummy- fresh tasting. read more

This place is amazing! It's a permanent food truck off of Dale Mabry. The breakfast sandwiches are great...I had the Basic (egg, bacon, and cheese on a croissant) and a side of potato wedges. I would have preferred a cheese that's not American cheese but that's just my personal preference. Food came out quick and it wasn't too busy when we went around 9 am on a Saturday morning. There are some outdoor tables with sun shades if you want to eat there. We'll definitely be back again! read more

Best breakfast before the game!!! Wow, I can't believe we've never heard of Marlenes's before but this place is incredible! Nothing too fancy, just a food truck with a small outdoor seating area wafting out good smells galore. I have no idea what's in the OG Marlene sauce, but the #1 was soooo good with it! Spinach, ham, cheese and sauce on a croissant - what more could you ever need? Boyfriend got the Basic (bacon egg and cheese) and it was so good too! Crispy bacon and a slightly charred croissant bun. Food came out fairly quickly but you can definitely tell that they fire up the grill and start your order fresh! Good prices, good food, no frills. Will be back next time we're in Tampa! read more

My favorite breakfast stop. I had first read about Marlene's while searching for breakfast spots near my job using another app, but since it's not along my usual morning commute, I never visited. Today, while gassing up my vehicle, I glance across the street and to my surprise what do I see? Yup, the signage over the food truck reading Marlene's Original Breakfast Sandwich. Had I not pulled over I never would have seen it. It's located in a parking lot along with two other food trucks. The surroundings are a bit dark and not really noticeable from the busy street if you're not looking for it. There was only one other customer in line ahead of me so my order of The Basic was placed and received very quickly. The Basic, which was not listed on the main menu board, is made up of a croissant with bacon, cracked egg and american cheese. That's all I needed for a first visit. My sandwich was delicious, the bacon was perfectly cooked to my liking, super crispy, not pink and floppy. NOTE: They do have outdoor tables for diners. read more

Our family was looking for a place to eat one morning, and specifically we wanted some thing breakfast type food. We saw that this place had really good reviews on yelp so we took the advice and went. We'll get something different. They were all different types of breakfast sandwiches nothing was terrible, but nothing was spectacular either. It is a food truck, so I should've kept that in mind before I committed to this restaurant read more

Marlene's Original Breakfast Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tampa, Florida

First time here. I had high hopes... but it was not a spectacular sandwich, just a good sandwich. I have been trying to get out more, and hit new spots to Yelp it up at. So got the bike out, and headed to Marlene's on a pretty Saturday morning. Easy to find, and reminds me of lot of the old 60's tourist traps you would find in Florida and Texas. Yea... I remember that far back... getting old ain't for sissies! ;) Ordered a Fully Loaded sandwich (contents in pictures)... and it was decent. Bacon was good, sausage was ok, cheese (slice of processed cheddar) was not melted, buns were toasted and soft. Did not really notice or taste the grilled onions, if any. Brought my own coffee, so did not try any drinks or sides either. If I am in the area, I might stop again, but would not make a special trip like I did today. read more

Most epic breakfast sandwiches in Tampa! As you can see by the outstanding reviews, lots of people think so as well. These sandwiches are no joke! Marlene's has a delicious and unique menu. Hubby and I love the same 3 sandwiches. #7 Sunrise Beef - yummy beef, over-medium egg, melty cheddar, grilled onions with the MOBS zesty sauce all on a toasted Cuban roll. Maybe the best one on their menu! #4 Fully Loaded - fried egg, bacon, sausage links, melty cheddar cheese, grilled onions, maple syrup also on a toasted Cuban roll.. yum, yum, yum! #8 Steak n' Eggs - steak, fried eggs, Swiss cheese, grilled onions, the best chimichurri, everything bagel. Absolutely amazing! The tots are fried so crispy, these are the best! Get to MOBS fast! read more

Absolutely incredible, had the basic bacon egg and cheese, hands down the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had!

I pass by Marlene's every morning on my way to work, at 5:45am. I was finally able to step out of the office to check this place out! Let me first start by saying the customer service is incredible! Both gentlemen working there couldn't have been more friendly. The cook saw I had my handsome dog with me and offered a few pieces of bacon for a treat. My dog, Bobby D, barked with approval, from the car. The sandwiches are huge!!! I ordered the #1 and #2. They were both really tasty, but a little on the greasy and heavy side for me. The jalapeño crisps were a nice little spicy touch on the #2, and the spinach basil combo on the #1 were delicious. This spot would be a go to for me after a night out on the town as a hangover cure. The food- 3.5 stars Customer service- 10 I will be back for a splurge meal sometime soon! Bobby D will be back for the back read more

We stopped here on the way to the airport and we were pleasantly surprised! Overall, the service is fast and respectful. The ambiance is pretty neutral; it is definitely a quick in and out type of thing. Most people ate in their cars, but there are tables outside. Steak and Egg Sandwich: 5/5. The seasoning is on point and the flavor is amazing. The sauce complements the steak and there was a good ratio of all ingredients. A bit spicy but not too much. Fully loaded: best part was the crispy bacon! Solid sandwich! Highly recommend!! read more

The good reviews are what brought me here. The attraction here is the food. Service was lukewarm, ambiance is rustic and dusty but the food was awesome. They got the most important thing right, the food. Loved the bread, the well seasoned burger and the tasty sauce. My latte was not good, left it unfinished. Great place to grab a sandwich on the go. Remember CARDS ONLY. Recommend something other than coffee to drink. read more

Sometimes we're just in need of a good breakfast sandwich we found it in Marlene's. Although it's pretty pricey for a breakfast sandwich $9-10 just for the sandwich . I have to say it was pretty good . The tots coming with a zesty sauce which was good . We all enjoyed our sandwiches. We might check it out again read more

I really really want to give this place more stars, but I simply can not. First, I'd like to clap for the "text to order" process... I love that. It seems they get pretty busy, my two sandwiches were ready when I arrived. You will receive a confirmation text once you text over your order. I love the decor, it's super cute and rustic. They offer buddy brew coffee, only two syrup flavors: sugar free vanilla (eh) + caramel. There's not much parking, but it's easy to make do. I ordered the Scramble (the number 6): Scramble eggs, zesty sauce, chives and cilantro, baby spinach, and cheddar cheese on a croissant (I added grilled onions)! It had potential to be pretty amazing and was very appealing but being that I ordered a sandwich purposely because it had no meat on it, I was very upset(my stomach included) and slightly disgusted with the taste of beef and pork mixture lingering in my sandwich. I'm not sure if the reasoning for that was cooking on a not so clean surface or if they use the same grease for all the sandwiches... but was very distasteful. I tried to fight threw it because I really looked forward to trying this place but my stomach had other plans. If you are vegetarian or do not eat and are sensitive to eat pork /beef, or just don't want your egg sandwich tasting like meat, I would not suggest this place. If you order a meat sandwich, you may not even notice... I won't be back because of this, very dangerous territory that are in with that happening. I hope they look into this. (UPDATE: My mom ordered the #5 and couldn't stop telling me how good her sandwich was. The #5 is on a cuban baguette and has a double fried egg, smoke kielbasa, gouda cheese, spicy mayo, & chives + cilantro) read more

I was starving and found this place after reading all the Yelp reviews. They are all true! This place is amazing! I ordered "The Special" breakfast sandwich and I'm still thinking about it 4 days later. I especially enjoyed the cold brew coffee. It was full bodied but smooth and served over fancy round balls of ice. If this food truck was closer to where I live, I would probably be here a few times a week. Kudos!! read more
